Our Recommendation
8.7

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers an unparalleled sequence of views, including a traverse across the snow-capped Western Alps and a spectacular close-up of Mount Vesuvius during the final approach into Naples.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
πŸ™οΈ

Parisian Outskirts

View of the southern suburbs of Paris and the Seine river winding through the landscape during climb-out.

πŸ”οΈ

The Western Alps

Stunning vistas of high-altitude peaks and glaciers near the French and Italian border regions.

⛰️

Central Apennines

The rugged, green mountain spine of Italy stretching across the horizon as you head south.

πŸ›οΈ

Greater Rome

Aerial view of the Tiber valley and the sprawling outskirts of the Italian capital.

πŸŒ‹

Mount Vesuvius

A dramatic, bird's-eye view of the world-famous volcanic crater just moments before touchdown.

For the most iconic arrival, the left side is essential to see Vesuvius. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you, perfectly illuminating the Alps and the Italian coastline. Avoid window seats over the wing (typically rows 12-22) for the best ground visibility.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🍷

Burgundy and RhΓ΄ne Valley

Vast stretches of famous French vineyards and rolling countryside during the first half of the flight.

🌊

The Tyrrhenian Sea

Expansive views of the deep blue Mediterranean as the flight path hugs the western Italian coast.

Tuscan Archipelago

Distant sightings of islands like Elba and Montecristo floating in the turquoise waters.

🏘️

Ischia and Procida

Beautiful views of the volcanic islands at the western edge of the Bay of Naples during descent.

βš“

Port of Naples

A view of the bustling maritime docks and the city's historic waterfront during the final turn.

Choose the right side for evening flights to enjoy spectacular Mediterranean sunsets over the water. This side also provides a wider panoramic view of the Bay of Naples and its islands (Ischia and Procida) as the aircraft maneuvers for landing.
